The Jupiter JPC1100E piccolo is an exemplary step-up instrument for when you’re ready to take your playing to the next level. This magnificent piccolo has a crisp, lively tone thanks to seasoned grenadilla construction, meticulously assembled keys, and fish skin pads. The JPC1100E has a comfortable and responsive feel that reacts to your every move. It also has a split E mechanism for better intonation and stability of the high E, which players find beneficial while exploring the instrument's higher register. Jupiter instruments have been a top choice of music educators since their introduction over 40 years ago, and the Jupiter JPC1100E performance piccolo has impressed flutists at Sweetwater with its ideal balance of price and performance.

Seasoned grenadilla body and sculpted silver-plated keys





Grenadilla is the material of choice for superior-quality intermediate and professional piccolos, due to its dense grain, moisture-repellent qualities, eye-catching look, and warm tone. For the JPC1100E, Jupiter selected first-rate grenadilla, which is seasoned for improved performance. The JPC1100E is populated with silver-plated keys that are fitted with fish skin pads, providing you with a responsive feel and reliable performance. Plus, the JPC1100E includes a French-style wooden case and instrument care kit.





Jupiter: guaranteed through graduation

Each Jupiter instrument is inspected for quality throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that it can endure bumps and bruises as easily as it can navigate technical passages.
